OKAY HEY GUYS a lot of folks have been asking about the next chapter and when it's going to be up, and basically my answer is "UHHHHH IDK IT KIND OF DEPENDS I'M SORRY 8C"
I can, however, tell you that I have spent the past month working on revising the next chapter. Which is huge. Like, stupid huge. Like 48.5k words huge. I finished addressing my betas' notes this past weekend and am now combing through it to weed out those horrid adverb thingies. After that I still want to cut down on the wordage (I feel like there's a lot of fat at the end in particular that could be trimmed). Ideally 10% off of what I originally sent to Team Awesome would be great, but we'll see how well I manage with that. Then it'll go back to Team Awesome for Round 2 notes!
I'm not going to make any estimates or guesses as to when it'll actually get posted because I've proven myself wrong time and time again. But there's my answer!
Other things I have done involving TEF (because that's pretty much all I work on these days when I get the opportunity to write) include getting into some mildly violent and melodramatic shit that is going to go down in the final chapter. I think I spent maybe 4 hours writing two and half pages of that business, and I guess that stuff can be kind of taxing on my system these days, because afterwards all I wanted to do was write sickeningly fluffy shit that's totally out of character, namely Brick and Blossom having epic couch!cuddles and makeout times. Which did not get written, by the way.
I did go digging through some tfr stuff but couldn't work up the enthusiasm to post any of it. I think all the good (good meaning REALLY TERRIBLE) stuff has already gone up.
I am going to end this entry with a shameless plug for![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
busterella's Squishyverse, which is required reading for anybody whose eyes have touched these words. Go. GO.
PS - Thank you to the folks on tumblr/dA who keep posting things! I am not convinced this is real life; it flabbergasts me so.
